A relaxing accommodation surrounded by the rich nature of Wakasa Bay and Mikata Five Lakes.

Enjoy breathtaking views of Wakasa Bay, natural Onsen, and local cuisine for a truly relaxing experience. Hotel Wansai is a rare Onsen accommodation surrounded by the "sea, lake, and mountains," even within the whole country. From various spots within the facility, you can admire the majestic Wakasa Bay, with its stunning horizon at sunset providing a soothing end to your day. The natural Onsen "Mihama Onsen" is highly praised as "Bijin no Yu" (beauty-enhancing water) for its skin-smoothing properties. For meals, we offer seasonal dishes featuring fresh seafood from the Sea of Japan and Wakasa Bay alongside locally sourced ingredients. Rejuvenate your body and mind with Wakasa's beautiful nature, natural Onsen, and flavorful cuisine.

  • It was my first trip to Wakasa, and I made the booking after watching the weather closely. Part of the first-floor area was under construction, but it was kept clean and left a good impression. The Room was very spacious and comfortable. The view from the window was the sea. Given its age, some signs of wear are understandable. Overall, it felt like a quiet and pleasant Hotel.The meals were plentiful, and I thought they tasted great. Next time, I’d like to stay again when traveling to Mikata Five Lakes with my siblings and their spouses.

  • The view from the Room was amazing.I happened to wake up around 4:00 a.m. and was able to relax while watching the sunrise begin.The building felt aged but was well maintained, and the Room was spacious enough to be comfortable. I would appreciate it if the floor mattress were a bit softer.The large dining hall is nice, but I felt it might be better with some partitions or other arrangements for separation.Overall, I’m satisfied and would like to stay again.Thank you.
